166: The Eye That Sees All
Kai stilled as realization hit him, so she hadn’t been stopping him, she had wanted to prepare him, forcing him to activate the eye properly, on her own damn terms and here he’d been, barking at her like she was the enemy.He felt stupid.No, scratch that, he felt played. Zora had manipulated the entire situation so subtly, so effortlessly, he hadn’t even realized it until now. She’d slapped him, stabbed him, tortured him and now she was yawning like none of it mattered.And honestly? He had to respect that level of chaos.Still, before he could even ask her who the hell she really was or what her game was...Smack!Her palm landed on the back of his head again.“You thinking again?” she asked, voice dry. “You wanna explode your brain for real this time, or you gonna get to work?”“Don’t stand there like a confused squirrel,” Zora groaned, her voice muffled with sleep. “I need to nap. You need to see. So close those damn eyes and get to work.”Kai muttered something under his breath,
165: No One Can Hide.
Kai took in a deep breath, hand still pressed to his head, the sting of that cosmic migraine still echoing deep in his skull. A million questions swirled in his mind. What did I see? Who the hell is Zora? What did my eye just do? Why did looking at her hurt so much?He opened his mouth, ready to unleash every one of those thoughts despite Zora warning him not to question her.But Zora sensing his intent raised a single brow and lazily lifted a finger to point at him without even turning her head. “Don’t even think about it, I told you not to bother me with your questions, I'm really not in the mood.”Her tone was calm, but that one sentence slammed Kai’s mouth shut.He groaned softly and sank back against the wall, still breathing heavily, eyes flickering with that same golden-blue hue from earlier. The silence that followed was thick, loaded with the weight of questions left unspoken and confusion he couldn't process yet.Zora stretched her legs across the couch and finally looked a
164: Third Eye Awakened.
Three hours slipped by as quietly as a shadow at dusk.Zora had dozed off somewhere between her fifth meat skewer and the sixth, her pale face resting against the sofa, rising and falling softly with her breathing. By the time she woke up, blinking groggily and stretching her limbs, Kai hadn’t moved an inch, he was still seated in the center of the room, legs crossed, his breathing steady, his body glowing faintly with spiritual light.But something was different now.A straight, delicate line had formed right in the middle of his forehead, so thin at first, it looked like a faint scar but it pulsed with energy, almost like it was alive and with each passing minute, the line deepened, stretching further, as if something underneath was trying to claw its way out.Kai clenched his jaw, his fists tightening on his knees, the pain he'd been feeling was crazy, sharp, searing but this time, he didn’t scream, he’d been through worse, he had already survived the madness of being stabbed in th
163: The Seal of Sight
Hearing Zora’s words, Kai’s brow furrowed deeply, his lips parted as he tried to comprehend what she just said.“You want me to open the real Third Eye?” he asked, voice low, still hoarse from screaming earlier. “How the hell am I supposed to do that?”Zora didn’t answer him immediately, she simply raised her chin and pointed at the scroll lying open on the floor, its old surface fluttering slightly from the energy still lingering in the room.“The scroll,” she said flatly. “You already have everything you need.”Kai followed her finger, then crouched and picked up the parchment, the paper still felt warm in his hand, humming faintly, almost as if it were alive, he held it in both hands, staring down at the lines of text now glowing faintly under his golden eyes.He blinked in surprise.This time, the words weren’t too harsh, his eyes didn’t sting or throb, there was no pain at all, just clarity, perfect, overwhelming clarity.“It’s working…” he murmured, eyes scanning every brushstro
162: The Pain of Awakening
Kai’s scream tore through the room, raw, wild and animalistic as the blade twisted mercilessly inside his eye, and a sickening crack followed as blood gushed down the right side of his face it soaked his neck, stained his clothes, and dripped in heavy, red splats onto the floor.Zora didn’t flinch at his scream, her hand still gripped the dagger buried in his eye, wrist firm and cold like she was tightening a screw, not skewering someone's soul and then pulled it out and dropped it. “Activate your cultivation technique,” she said coolly, like this wasn’t the most brutal thing she’d ever done. “Now, focus the energy directly into your eye unless you wanna keep crying like a newborn.”Kai’s mind was foggy, pain clouded every thought, every breath, his mouth opened, and all that escaped was another broken scream, hoarse and guttural, but her words pushed through the haze of pain.Through clenched teeth and clenched fists, Kai tried, he summoned his inner energy, the core flow within hi
161: The Trust and the Blade
Kai stood there in silence as he watched Zora muttering shit he could not even understand. Her words were harsh, careless, even but they made sense and that was the problem.Thane didn’t know where Abigail had gone missing. He didn’t have a location, a clue, or even a working lead. And Kai’s sources hadn’t uncovered anything yet either, if he ran out now, burning energy and time in blind panic, what exactly was he going to accomplish?Worse... what if she was found… while he was wandering miles away from the right place?He clenched his fists, a bitter taste in his mouth.Zora was annoying, loud, always eating but unpredictable as she was, she might actually know something or have a way to help later, she always did.So, with a heavy sigh, Kai turned around and walked back to his seat and sat down slowly, shoulders tight. He didn’t say anything, just closed his eyes and tried to focus, trying to push himself into a state of cultivation.But the air between them was cold, Zora didn’t
